gypsie - Wednesday 5 January 2011Hi girls, i am 37 weeks pregnant, and at many stages of my pregnancy - right from 16 weeks, i felt a sharp pain on my lower right abdomin when walking, making sudden movements, or even just the slightest movement. Later on i got this same pain on my lower left side. When i asked my midwife about it, she told me this was just a normal part of pregnancy, and she said it was especially more common in women who had small/skinny builds before pregnancy. It was just my ligaments stretching to accommodate my growing uterus and baby.

mrshogg - Sunday, Feb 24thAll my pregnancy books say that it's probably round ligament pain your feeling. I've been getting it since I was about 11 weeks and I'm 17 now. I guess it's suppossed to go away soon because my uterus will get large enough that my pelvic bones will take some of the weight and the ligaments will be under less stress. We're supposed to move slowly and support our belly while coughing or sneezing. Kinda hard to do when you roll over in your sleep without thinking and it feels like you've been kicked in the guts. Oh well, the joys of being pregnant.

Jessica - Friday, Jul 13thIm 10 weeks and I feel a shorp pain in my right side abdomin.It hurts when I make a sudden move.I didnt have this problem with my son.So it scared me at first.Than I talk to my dr. and he said its my uterus shifting.

The pain usually dosent come untill Ive been asleep for a few hours. Then when I wake up in the morning I have a cramping in my uterus like its being stretched out. It happens almost every morning. its been happening since about 6 or 7 weeks or so. Im 11 weeks and some days now. its not so much now

Sandy - Tuesday 31 March 2009Well, we are waiting to find out if im preggers again... thanks Durex Condoms... you work. really.
My uterus is hurting like mild period pains. even now its like a dull pain in the middle under my belly button. My first child is 14moths now and i don't recall this !! maybe i do... porridge brains.

Chelle - Saturday 3 May 2008I have been having slight cramping pains, low down like a pulled muscle and also a little sharper pain on my right hand side. I was feeling worried but have read many many other women who are having the same feeling - I think it's normal.

Kelly - Saturday, Mar 1stI have just found out that I am pregnant.I have an annoying discomfort on my right lower side;like a small knot. It is ONLY on my right side. Sometimes it is sharp but still dull.I had a miscarriage last summer and surgery to remove an ovarian cyst so I'm a little on edge.Is this normal??Please answer someone.

Liane - Friday, Jul 20thre: MC
if its like mine was....it HURTS INTENSELY and you might feel insane emmotionally for a few months. I did.

Liane - Friday, Jul 20thHi gals, I'm hoping that I am week 4. Should know in couple days. Mild nausea for 5 days and felt like passing out 2 days ago. Today for maybe 30 min, mild period-like dull pain in abdomen. had MC last summer this time so reading tons to reassure.
Thanks for the 'stretching out' info... IF I am pregnant. fingers and toes crossed

Janine - Monday, Jul 16thI forgot to mention that I am at the end of 6 weeks and have had the sensation since a week after conception..... I was told not to worry unless there is spotting. It is just your body stretching.

Janine - Monday, Jul 16thI get the exact pain - aching. I'm asleep and usually from around 1 to 3 am the aching wakes me up. I also get it periodically throughout the day. I spoke with some pregnant friends and most of them they said that had that sensation.

shan - Monday, Jun 18thplease check with ur doctor to see, because i had the same kind of cramps and later found out that i was having a miscarrage (only if its really sharp and intense).

efrona - Wednesday, Jun 13thI have an anoying ache on the right side of my stomach, it's not there all day but i wonder what it is, when i move fast or lift something it bothers me more. I'm about 3-4 weeks pregnant and also have a little bit of spotting. Was wondering if anyone has the same. I also have headaches that feels like a head cold and that is not usual for me.
thanks efrona

Elaine - Monday, Jun 4thI am feeling a pokey feeling near my uterus on the right side. It on and off and I am just 4 weeks and 3 days. I wonder is this just the stretching happening?

cherry - Monday, Jun 4thim in 7 weeks now, i always feel the pain in my left part of my uterus, what should i do?

julian - Thursday, May 31sthi i am 8 weeks pregnant and experiance the same thing, minor cramps well today i experianced some thing unusual, I was sitting down for like 30 to 45 minutes and when i finally got up , my abdominal are was hurting it was like sharp pain. thank god it went away after i started walking.

julie - Sunday, Feb 18thI am 6 weeks and I have been having the same thing. Mine is starting to last longer, should I be concerned?

Anjos - Saturday, Jan 20thHi, I am 5 weeks and I also get the pain.
I was getting worried.

Autumn - Wednesday, Dec 20thI have been having pains in my Ab area. they are like sharp like pains? could i be pregant?

Bliss - Saturday, Oct 7thIt is in fact being 'stretched' out. Your stomach is changing and growing to support the child growing inside of you... some people get it on one side others on the other side! But be sure it is not something more dangerous!

Jacqui - Wednesday, Aug 30thI have the same thing...I'm 6 weeks and have cramps every morning when I wake up, just on one side though.

It's right where my right ovary is. Pulling sensation. Wierd. I don't remember feeling this when I was preggo last time. I ovulated two weeks ago. Could I be preggo?

Emma - Tuesday, Jan 22ndI have been having every sign of being preg for past 2wks incl needing the toilet alot.also am having very sharp lower pains. But i took a preg test 4 days ago and it was neg!im due on in 5 days so should i just wait and see?iv got a 6yr old so should know the signs but im confused. Help!

Sharp pains under my stomach area going down to the right and left side of the vagina. It is very hard to sleep at night. If I turn on my right or left side it hurts. Even laying flat on my back it feels like something is pulling, so I will have to have my legs propped up. It started on Sat. 9/29 and stop. Then it can on strong Sunday and has not stopped since. Have anyone else had this probblem?

Treatment or advice:

I went to the doctor on 10/1/07 and my doctor said it was my round ligaments in the uterus strecthing. He said it should stop by the 20th week, but for now take tylenol. I'm not trying to take any mediciane during my pregnancy...I am dealing w/ the pain.

Best of luck to you hun.

purplepug - Sunday 5 October 2008bad pain like a severe stitch.. been here since ystday.. thought it was trapped wind but am doubtful now. hard to stand up straight or move my right leg..

Very uncomfortable day and night. Almost feels like a pulling or stretching of miscle/ligament. Happens when I move or twist. At night, when I turn over it is very noticable. Was pretty painful when I reached down to pull up my heavy comfortor one cold night. Pain goes away fairly quickly and isn't felt while sitting or being sedentary

marchmama2b - Friday 19 September 2008I was having similiar pains, feeling kind of achy in my lower abdomen, with a sharp pain in the morning if I got up too quickly. My OB said this is normal so trying not to worry, have found that getting up slowly eliminates sharp morning pains....

Pain is sharp, during certian movements. Like when I get out of my car or stretch a certian way. It almost feels like I have a pulled muscle.

Treatment or advice:

I try ice sometimes but heat seems to work better. I want to start to take yoga and become more flexible in hopes that it works to stop these incidents from happening But most of the time the pain just last for the time of movement and then goes away.

This discomfort I noticed first time on my 22 weeks scan. While the ecographer was pressing the pain became stronger. Is a pain somewhere under my layers of skin. Now if I press in the area or I turn around on my side the pain comes back momentarily. The doctor says is probably muscular. I had my right ovary removed 2 years ago by laparoscopy and I am thinking it might be due to the operation

I feel pressure on my right ovary. It does get better at times. The ovary feels heavy, almost the same way it feels before egg retrieval. To give you more details, got pregnant via IVF, transferred 3 embryos on 12/10. Got a positive test on 12/23.
